I had the opportunity to evaluate the performance of the new, pre-production LDI DBAL D2 Civilian Legal Class 1 IR laser. LDI sent it to me for a NV Shoot that was rained out last week.
We have gone form too little water to too much water.
I use the IR lasers for night time hog hunting with a PVS-14 on a melmet and a D-740 on my rifle. The IR aiming laser allows me to walk drive and shoot without removing my PVS-14 and re-acquiring the target through the weapon mounted sight.
The DBAL D2 aiming laser also allows me to get my NV unit OFF my weapon so I can use a caliber larger than the 5.56mm that most ITT and L3 tubes are ated for. i.e. I can carry my 6.8SPC, 6.5grendel, 9mm or a 308 caliber rifle for night time hog and varmint hunting.
I took it to the Impact Zone and observed it on the 100 yard and 200 yard known distance ranges and around the property. The DBAL D2 has a LED illuminator in addition to its Class 1 aiming laser. This illuminator is the equal of the onboard illuminators that the PEQ-2a and PEQ-15 (both the insight and DBAL I2 units) have built into the units. The illuminator can be focused in to a narrow IR beam for illuminating targets at 200-300 yards (this was the limit of the range) and focused out to a flood to illuminate a wide area without blooming your PVS-14.
The eyesafe aiming laser is easily and clearly visible at 200 yards on most any surface. This equals the usable range of the PEQ-2 and 15. While the DBAL D2 doesn't have the high output laser function of the PEQ-2a and the PEQ-15s, this function is not something that is overly useful in the civilian, hog hunting world.
The DBAL D2 is perfect for most civilian, LEO and military uses. The aiming laser is powerful enough to be usefull out to 200 yards and the illuminator is powerful enough to light the darkest corners and illuminate the area under the tree canopy as you are moving around the lease at night looking for pigs
I'll post the next video when I get it put together.
I filmed this with my PVS-14 atached to my Sony HD camera
